Over My Dead Poddy
Over My Dead Poddy is the podcast that lifts the lid on death, dying, and funerals – busting the common funeral myths with honesty, humour, and heart.
Hosted by three passionate professionals who work across the funeral industry, it’s a human-focussed, fear-facing, no-nonsense look at what really happens when it’s time to say goodbye to those we love – and why it matters.
We’re here to answer the questions you’ve always wondered about but never quite dared to ask. From the practical to the personal, from the weird to the wonderful – nothing is off limits.
Delivered with warmth, wit and humanity, these conversations are designed not just to inform, but to inspire you to have the conversations we’re all scared of having. We want to help you feel more confident talking about death and funerals – with your family, your friends, and, when the time comes, with people like us.
Real talk about the one thing we all have in common.
Follow us – and start the conversation.

Following a stuttering start the guys have their relaunch episode for you to start delving into the realms of the UK Funeral Industry.
Co-Hosts Nichola Reeder, an Independent Celebrant and Carl Tate, a long standing and respected Funeral Director have teamed up to try and open up the inner workings of the funeral industry to try and Demystify and Debunk Urban Myths for anyone interested in knowing what happens and what choices families have when their loved ones pass. We will have hints and tips alongside guest speakers along the way associated with the industry.
This is all done around a kitchen table with a few beers so there's a lot of humanity, some light hearted relief and the odd interruption from the family lurcher or myself trying to keep them on track and sounding great... a hard task!
We hope this is illuminating, informative and enjoyable for you and please do spread to word and remember to subscribe!
